Xi'an Weather in February

February remains cold but starts to warm slightly toward the end of the month. Snow is possible, but sunny days become more frequent. Tourist crowds are still low, except during Chinese New Year when domestic travel spikes.

Bring a warm coat, sweaters, and layers. A waterproof jacket is useful for occasional rain or snow. Comfortable walking shoes and warm accessories like gloves and a hat are recommended.

If visiting during Chinese New Year, expect crowds and higher prices; book trains and hotels well in advance. Many restaurants and shops may be closed for a few days. The weather can be unpredictable, so check forecasts daily.
